GETTING PURPLE CHRISTMAS READY!

wallpaperaccess.com

I have been putting up my faux pre-lit Christmas tree for the past few years. I was following

 tradition for a while with red decorations. A couple of years ago I saw a purple Christmas tree

with all the trimmings. I have been  hooked on purple since then. 

I went to a discount store searching for purple tinsel. They did not have any.

 I was disappointed because I saw a tinsel wreath craft online. I stumbled 

upon purple poinsettias mixed in a bunch of red and white poinsettias. 

The display was about seven feet tall. I was so happy that bought all of their purple

poinsettias!

I decided to make potted purple poinsettia arrangements for my front yard. I was

 able to get most of my items at a dollar store.. I bought the following items:

(1) Roll, Shiny Purple Gift Wrap ( 30 inches x 48 inches) 

(2) 8 inches to Plastic Sand Buckets (from toy section)

(2) Purple Mix Pansies

(1) Purple Rose Bud Bush

Note: Purple Wired Ribbon for a bow was  not available.

          8 inch planters  are an option

Also need: Scissors and Glue Gun with Glue Sticks

Directions

I filled both buckets with wet garden dirt. Green foam pot inserts also an option.

I made arrangements in the 2 buckets using the poinsettias, pansies, and roses.

I cut the shiny gift wrap in half and wrapped both buckets with it. I secured the

gift wrap tightly around the buckets using the glue gun.

I think these Purple Poinsettias Arrangements look great.  I plan to set the red chairs and the 

arrangements in my front yard after I my rake leaves. I hope my fellow Crafters will try this, using

non-traditional Christmas flowers too. I am going to keep looking for solid color purple wired ribbon.

so I can add pretty bows.
